Chapter 23: Tavern Gossip

To the east of the purple clouds, the mountains are undulating, looming among the clouds and mist, like a long dragon winding by, stretching for thousands of miles.

However, this original green mountain can no longer be called a green mountain at this time, at a glance, the autumn yellow mixed with the faintly visible red maple, as well as the autumn wind left the stars of the green, so that this group of mountains is less deep and quiet artistic conception, but more pleasing taste.

I only complained that the autumn wind blew and blew the yellow green mountains.

Beneath the peak, a young, slender figure swept across the stream, punched a few punches, and returned to the stream with a leap.

He sat down on the spot, looked at the waterfall flowing down the stone wall, and looked at the mountains under the clouds, and sighed faintly: "It is worthy of the martial arts, and I have never been able to grasp it." ”

The practice of martial arts is a long process, and it can only be tempered to have both form and spirit, and if you want to achieve a higher level of unity of form and meaning, you need to fully understand this martial art.

This is only a widely spread martial arts cultivation method, in fact, it can be further taken on the basis of the unity of form and meaning, that is the secret technique!

Just like the Twin Tigers that Ye Xiao used on top of the Fierce Tiger Tiangang at the beginning, if he wanted to do this, he also needed the cultivator to add his own perception to the martial arts, and the difficulty was self-evident, which was also the reason why there were few secret techniques in the world.

This time, Ye Yinan took out three martial arts from the book pavilion: Fierce Tiger Tiangang, Ling Xubu, and Zongyun Yue, the first two are medium in the ground grade, and the last one is inferior in the ground grade.

He went out of the city early in the morning and practiced here all morning, but he couldn't even do both form and spirit, so he could only do it in vain.

Although it looks good, at most it can only exert the power of one-twelfth of the martial arts, which is far from his expectations.

Originally, when the young children of the Ye clan first entered the martial arts, they would choose an elder in the clan to lead them, which naturally included the teaching of martial arts.

However, Ye Yinan was directly absent and didn't go at the beginning, which made him have no one to find now, and he didn't want to disturb Ye Jingxian, so he could only come to this mountain alone to practice by himself.

With the sound of the murmuring of the stream, he took one last look at the towering mountain peaks in the distance, gradually calmed down, got up and threw his fists......

......

In the center of Ziyun City stands a magnificent mansion, and a black golden silk nanmu plaque hangs on the top of the vermilion lacquer main entrance of the mansion, on which the dragon flies and the phoenix dances with the three big characters of "City Lord's Mansion".

A young man dressed in a bright yellow robe was sitting cross-legged on the steps, his hands on his knees, as if he was in the middle of a practice.

The steps under him are made of jade, transparent and crystalline, clean and dusty, down the jade steps, there is a lifelike giant python carved on the ground, but I don't know what the carver means, this giant python is a little like a dragon.

This young man is the only son of the Purple Cloud City Lord, Situ Shaoyang!

Suddenly, during his cultivation, he frowned, and shouted loudly: "Ah Da, go and fetch me the essence of the scriptures." ”

I thought that I could break through the realm within two months by myself, but I didn't expect it to be a little bit hot, but if I used the meridian washing essence, I am afraid that it would not take two months to easily break through the realm and step into the control yuan.

As for the so-called reward in the ring, as the fourth brother said, two months later, those ordinary people dare to come and grab treasures from the Situ clan? Several major families, who are similar in age to themselves, are basically still in the ascetic realm, and young people like Zhuge Ming, who have already stepped into the control of the yuan, will not end up in person.

In this way, isn't this meridian washing liquid still my own thing?

As soon as he thought of Zhuge Ming, Situ Shaoyang was full of anger, that bastard had sharp teeth and sharp mouth, and he actually coaxed himself to take out the meridian washing essence, fortunately, there was a fourth brother in the round, otherwise even with his identity as a young city lord, it would be quite painful to lose such treasures for no reason.

"You wait for me, when Young Master Ben cultivates to catch up with you, there will be a time when you regret it!" he thought secretly in his heart.

Hearing his call, a man in yellow civilian clothes trotted over, stood aside respectfully, and whispered: "Young master, this scripture washing liquid is a reward in the ring after two months, is it inappropriate to use it directly?"

Situ Shaoyang opened his eyes and looked at Ah Da, his eyes were full of playfulness, and he said with a little dissatisfaction: "You have been following Young Master Ben for six or seven years, why can't you understand it? That thing is said to be a reward, who will come to fight? In the end, isn't it still Young Master Ben's thing? What's wrong with using your own things?"

Listening to his own young master's talk, Ah Da secretly slandered in his heart that this is not the way the fourth master taught you, and now it seems that he came up with it, and it is not that he was tricked to fall into such a passive situation.

However, he never dared to confide in his heart, pretending to be suddenly enlightened, and praised loudly: "I see! The young master is really a heavenly man who has come into the world, and he is witty!"

"However, if two months later, on the snowflake pond, the Zhuge clan is aggressive, and asks the young master to take out the scripture washing essence liquid and publicize it to the public, then ......" He changed his words and said.

As a house slave, where did he need to say so much, if it wasn't for the fourth master's instructions, he wouldn't have bothered to persuade him.

Situ Shaoyang's smug expression froze on his face, he thought about it, it seems that this is really the reason, if this situation really occurs at that time, and he can't get the meridian washing essence, wouldn't he leave a name in the city that promises empty promises but don't keep them?

There was an inexplicable irritability in his heart, he scolded a few words in a low voice, and said to Ah Da: "Go to the treasury and get the hundred-year-old red ginseng saved by the third brother." ”

Ah Da was helpless, but he still answered and complied.

......

For more than half a month, Ye Yinan would go to practice martial arts every day.

The mountain peaks are still the same, the streams are still the same, the green shirts are still the same, the sound of breaking the air is heard from time to time in the empty mountains, and the shadows of the fists and legs are staggered, although he has been practicing very hard these days, but the progress is still very slow, which makes him feel a little distressed in his heart.

The autumn wind is gone, and the grass and trees are withering.

A delicate snowflake floated down from the white sky and landed on his shoulder, and he did not deliberately blow it away, but quietly watched the early winter snow melt quietly.

More and more snowflakes fall from the clouds, dancing in the air, drifting into the quiet and quiet mountains and forests, and also drifting towards the colorful and prosperous fireworks world.

Ye Yinan spread out his palm, and the silver-white snow petals that fluttered one after another fell on his palm, and a mountain breeze blew along the stream, blowing through his body, he suddenly felt a little cold, so he ended today's practice early and returned to Ziyun.

The first snow of the year came early in the morning compared to previous years, and the snowflakes added a touch of freshness to the city.

Many people walked out of the house and stood on the street with their backs to greet the snow, which symbolizes a good year. Not far away, a group of chasing and frolicking children also stopped in place, and a little girl with red cheeks and pigtails caught a crystal clear snowflake and shouted happily: "It's snowing, it's snowing!"

Ye Yinan sniffed the aroma of wine and stopped in front of a tavern, since his body was cold, it was better to drink wine to warm up.

He pushed the door in, and a cold wind poured in with him, blowing up the thick cotton curtain used to block the wind at the door, and as soon as he shook off the snow flakes on his body that had not yet melted, Xiao Er's voice rang out.

"Oh, hello this guest officer, you come here, please take a seat!"

Ye Yinan sat down under the greeting, and only then did he have the time to take a look, maybe the weather was suddenly cold, and there were many guests in the tavern, chatting and drinking in twos and threes.

"Guest officer, what kind of wine do you want?" Xiao Er wiped his face with the white towel on his shoulder, and asked with a smile.

Ye Yinan had been drinking for the first time since he came to the Ziqian Realm, and he was a little interested, and asked back, "What kind of wine do you have here?"

Xiao Er saw that he was dressed decently and his attitude was very enthusiastic, "My family's wine includes sweet rice wine, strong and spicy rice wine, and light and aromatic sake." In addition to these, there is also the drunken flower carving brewed by Du Kang Winery, which is the best choice in texture and taste, and contains several medicinal materials, which is also very beneficial to martial artists!"

Ye Yinan had heard of Du Kang Winery, which was quite famous in the territory of the Han Empire, where Ziyun City was located, and even had heard of many foreign neighbors.

The reputation is excellent, it is said that the wine brewed by Du Kang Winery is loved even by the immortals, so it has also spread such a good reputation, the wine from Du Kang, down to the mortal, on the drunken immortals!

He took out a bag of silver taels and put it on the table, and said with a smile: "Come to the pot and get drunk with flowers." ”

"Okay, wait a minute, guest officer!"

Hearing his words, the drinkers on the side cast surprised glances, this drunken flower carving is not something that anyone can afford to drink, a pot costs a hundred taels of silver!

At this moment, the wooden door of the tavern was rudely pushed open, and a big man dressed as a mercenary walked in, dressed in a red and black power suit, wearing a large-brimmed hat, the red tassel on the top of the hat was wet with fine snow, and it was softly attached to the brim.

"Xiao Er, come two catties of rice wine!"

After that, he was about to find a place to sit down, and suddenly, he sniffed and turned his head to look at Ye Yinan, to be precise, the pot of wine on his wooden table.

"Little brother, I see you're a little familiar. ”

Ye Yinan glanced at him and smiled dumbly, where has he seen this man, and said in his heart, I am afraid that you are familiar with the drunken flower carving on the table, and the scumbag is accosted.

However, he stretched out his hand not to hit the smiling man, he smiled and said, "Since the face is familiar, then sit down." "It's also a good choice to deal with this kind of old fritter that has obviously been mixed up for a long time.

The drinker on the side suddenly showed a look of annoyance, he knew that this young man was so good at talking, and how good he was in the past, he almost forgot what the drunken flower carving was.

The mercenary man sat down and put his hat on the table, and Lang smiled: "Haha, the little brother is also an open-minded person!"

What he said was also true, many young ladies who came out of the family looked down on them from the bottom of their hearts.

Ye Yinan called Xiao Er over and added two new bowls, and the moment he uncorked the bottle, a refreshing aroma of wine overflowed, just by smelling this smell, he felt that the Yuan Force in the dantian was faintly beating.

It seems that there are indeed a lot of medicinal herbs in the drunken flower carving, which can nourish the yuan, he poured a bowl for the mercenary man, and poured another bowl for himself.

"Thank you, little brother!" said the mercenary man gratefully, picking up the bowl and squinting at it, as if he felt that it was a waste to drink too quickly.

Ye Yinan also took a sip of the bowl, this wine is really worthy of its price, the entrance is extremely mellow, and it directly turns into a ball of medicinal power in the throat, sinking into the dantian, he feels that his yuan power seems to have faintly strengthened a little.

"You try this, drink slowly. The mercenary man poured him a bowl of rice wine and reminded him.

"This wine is too strong!" The rice wine was so spicy that his tongue was burning like fire, and Ye Yinan felt his nose squirting.

Then the two chatted while drinking, he listened to this man tell a lot of what he had seen and heard over the years, and he gained a lot, and he laughed when it came to the rise of the two.

Gradually, the wine in the pot had bottomed out, and there were several empty jars under the table.

"Little brother, I am Wu Tieniu, the head of the Huya Mercenary Group, if anything happens in the future, come and inform the brother, and the brother will definitely help!"

The mercenary man's face was red, his eyes were blurred, he was clearly drunk, and his mouth was still boasting about how many strange beasts he had killed.

It's just that he lay on the table and whimpered in a low voice as he spoke, "I worked so hard to lead a group of brothers to beg for a living, and I worked hard so that she could live a good life, she ...... Having an affair with that damn thief...... Is it because of his skin?"

Ye Yinan was a little embarrassed, this man was really drunk, and he even poured out such private matters.

However, his heart moved, and he remembered that the person who robbed him last time claimed to be from the Huya Mercenary Group, and that person's appearance was ...... It can't be such a coincidence, right?

The mercenary man continued to whisper: "I want to return from the Black Killing Boxing Stadium all the way and establish the Huya Mercenary Group, but I will be so insulted by a woman!"

Ye Yinan got up, gently put his hand on his shoulder, leaned over and whispered, and slowly said the events of that day.

Then he called Xiao Er, got the man's wine money, and left in style.
